Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for recording encoded information signals as recited in the preamble of claim 1 on a disc like record carrier, such as an optically readable disc.
  • the invention further relates to a recording apparatus for performing the method.
  • the DVD-Video format for optically readable discs is defined in the DVD Specifications for Read-Only Disc, part 3: Video Specifications (version 1.0, August 1996). Relevant parts therefrom are being disclosed in for instance European Patent Application EP 724 264 and US Patent 5 784 528, respectively document D1 and D2 in the list of referred documents that can be found at the end of this description. Both documents are incorporated by reference herein.
  • the DVD-Video format as defined in the above mentioned Specifiations for READ-Only Disc and disclosed in D1 and D2 was created for storing movies and other video content on read-only DVD media. Some of the features of the DVD-Video format make it less suitable for real-time recording applications.
  • the method according to the invention describes a novel and inventive format for DVD-Video compatible real-time recording of video streams, referred to hereinafter to as Real Time DVD Video Recording or shortly DVD-Video Recording.
  • the format defined is intended for home video recording on an optical medium which is playback compatible with DVD-Video players.
  • the Video End Presentation Time of a current Video Object is one of the parameters incorporated in each Navigation Pack (NV_PCK) in a stream.
  • This Video End Presentation Time defines the end presentation time of the corresponding Video Object.
  • this time is not known in advance. Including or updating afterward proves to be difficult and time consuming. Therefore a time is chosen in advance that a player will never reach. However, a problem will arise when reaching the end of Video Object, while the end presentation time points to a different time. This is for a player contrary information and may lead to an player error.
  • the data structure to be disclosed hereafter explains the DVD-Video compatibility behind the Real-Time Video Recording Format and specifies how it should be used by recorders to create DVD-Video playback compatible discs.
  • Titles and Menus are restricted to improve exchangeability of rewritable discs between recorders.
  • strict rules are defined for Play Lists, which can be created by the user to define playback sequences of pieces from the recorded Titles.
  • the Buffer Cell is not used by any Program Chain (PCGC).
  • PCGC Program Chain
  • the Cell ID of a Buffer Cell is equal to 255.
  • VOBU Video Object Units

  • Fig. 8 illustrates the A/V input unit 1 in more detail.
  • a tuner 5 which is connected to the antenna input terminal 2, demodulates the modulated A/V antenna signals and outputs the demodulated signals to a suitable A/V demultiplexing unit 6 for separating audio signals from video signals.
  • An audio A/D converter unit 7 outputs a digital audio signal A and a NTSC/PAL/SECAM decoding unit 8 , comprising a video A/D converter, outputs a digital video signal V.
  • These signals A and V are outputted to a encoding/decoding unit 9, which is illustrated in more detail in Fig. 9.
  • the encoding/decoding unit 9 compresses and encodes the signals A and V, respectively by an audio encoder 10 and a video encoder 11, converts them to a multiplexed and compressed stream conforming to Video Recording specifications, employing a multiplexer 12.
  • the audio encoder 10 and video encoder 11 are adapted to perform source compression according to a specific standard for compression, such as for example MPEG-2 for audio and video.
  • the compressed and multiplexed stream is submitted via a track buffer 13, which absorbs rate fluctuations stemming from intermittent recording and data reproduction from a disc, to a drive unit 14.
  • the encoding/and decoding unit 9 also expands a compressed stream read from a recording medium by the drive unit 14 and outputs separately an audio signal A and a video signal V to the A/V output unit 15.
  • the encoding/decoding unit 9 comprises a suitable A/V decoder 16 for decoding the compressed audio and video source signals.

  • PCI Presentation Control Information
  • modifying a Play List may require that a Cell is split into two new Cells.
  • all values of Cell Elapse Time (C_ELTM in PCI_GI) shall be updated in all PCI fields in the second Cell.
  • PCI_GI General Information of Presentation Control Information
  • PCI_GI_XI identifies the application and specifies the length of the extension. If all bits in this byte are zero, also the bytes of PCI_GI following this field are zero:
  • Application Identifier contains the value (0001 b) if the stream attributes as defined in VTSI_MAT for this VTS must be overruled by the real-time stream attributes. Otherwise contains the value (0000b).
  • the real-time stream attributes are valid from Start PTM until End PTM of the VOBU in which this field is contained.
  • Extension Length defines the number of bytes for this extension following this field. It shall contain the value (0010b) if Application Identifier is (0001b). It contains the value (0000b) if Application Identifier is (0000b).
  • RT_V_ATR describes the real-time Video stream attributes.
  • Source picture letterboxed and Film camera mode have meanings as defined in the DVD specifications for the Read_Only Disc.
  • RS_AST_ATR describes the real-time Audio stream attributes:
  • VOB ID Video Object ID number
  • modifying a Play List may require that a Cell is split into two new Cells. In that case all values of Cell Elapse Time (C_ELTM in DSI_GI) shall be updated in all DSI fields in the second Cell.
  • C_ELTM in DSI_GI Cell Elapse Time
  • Audio decoding stream number is '0'.
  • Sub-picture decoding stream number is '0'.
  • Data for a Sub-picture Unit (SPU) is fully contained in one VOBU.
  • the SPU validity period shall not start before the Start PTM of the VOBU, nor shall it end later than the End PTM of the VOBU.
  • the DVD-Video format for rewritable discs is not fully identical to the DVD-Video format for read-only discs.
  • the differences are (1) in the rules for data allocation and (2) in some details of the navigation data in the real-time data streams.
  • the first kind of differences generally has no consequences for DVD-Video players.
  • trick mode behaviour of DVD-Video playback devices with rewritable discs may not be always exactly the same as with prerecorded discs.
  • Manufacturers can improve compatibility between DVD-Video players and rewritable discs by following the guidelines given in the next.
  • DVD-Video players On rewritable DVD-Video discs some rules for the Video Object Set data structures are different from the rules for read-only discs. DVD-Video players will play back rewritable discs well when they are robust against:
  • DVD-Video recorders are required to at least fill in correct forward pointers FWDI(n) for n ⁇ M.
  • Forward pointers FWDI(n) with M ⁇ n ⁇ N contain the last correct value.
  • For n > N forward pointers point to the end of the current Cell.
  • the duration of a Cell on a rewritable disc is typically 60 seconds.
  • DVD-Video players can still rely on the FWDI pointers for the lower speeds (2x, 4x, 8x). For higher speeds, the player can still use the long distance FWDI pointers but in this case they point to the end of the current Cell. If accurate fast search speeds are desired, the speed can be adjusted by picking up intermediate pictures (e.g. by applying a FWDI(6) pointer) or by adapting the display period of the pictures.
  • the invention can be implemented by means of both hardware and software, and that several "means" may be represented by the same item of hardware. It is also remarked that the word 'comprising' does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps than those listed in a claim. Any reference signs do not limit the scope of the claims.
